No, white light is the combination of the entire visible light spectrum.

What are light sources and non light sources?

The sources that can give out their own light are "Light Sources" and the same opposite the sources which can not give out their own light are know as Non Light Sources .


What are the conditions two light sources to be coherent?

Two light sources are considered coherent if they have a constant phase difference between them and the same frequency. This allows for constructive interference to occur and produce a stable interference pattern. Additionally, the light sources should have similar polarization and be from the same spectral line.


How do you produce two coherent sources of light?

To produce two coherent sources of light, you can use a laser to create a beam of light with a single frequency and direction. By splitting the laser beam into two using a beamsplitter, you can then generate two coherent sources of light that have the same frequency and phase relationship.


What are coherent sources and conditions for it?

Coherent sources are sources that emit light waves with a constant phase relationship. Conditions for coherence include having the same frequency, wavelength, and waveform, as well as a constant phase difference between the sources. This coherence allows for interference effects to occur, resulting in patterns such as diffraction and interference fringes.


Is white light monochromatic light?

No exactly the contrary, white light is made up of light of all the colours of the rainbow. And you need to take that literally. The rainbow has these colours because rain acts as a prism and breaks the white light of the sun apart in the colours it is made up of. Because monochromatic means 'of one and the same colour', white light is not monochromatic. LASER light is always monochromatic: all particles have exactly the same wavelength (colour)

Is white light the same as light?

yes

Why is called as monocromatic source of light?

Mono chromatic light is emitted by a laser source or by a red Light Emitting Diode. These sources emit a single wavelength of light around 550 nanoMetres. White light from the sun for example is a mixture of many wavelengths mixed together from red to violet to form white light.


A spectroscope measures the light energy given off by what?

Spectra is the plural of Spectrum. Scope meaning a device to assist seeing. Spectra or spectrum is what we see. There are light waves beyond our sense of seeing. we see light/colors in the visible spectrum. Below that we have Infra Red. Above the visible spectrum we begin with Ultra Violet. These are frequencies of the light. Frequency meaning how fast something is changing. White light is considered to be a combination of all of the colors of the spectrum. When a white light shines upon an object, we see the color or colors that are reflected to our eye. A spectra scope does the same thing, but is normally equiped with measuring tools that telll us the specific wave length or frequency of light within the received spectrum. If a light bulb is turned off and you shine a flashlight on it, you will see the filiment and a spectrascope could tell you all about the light that is being seen. If you turn on the light bulb, it emits light. Thus, a spectrascope can see light reflecting or refracting from something that is illuminated by some other source/s. A spectrascope can see light given off by an object that is not illuminated by another source or sources. Answer: A spectrascope measures the light given off by everything that emits within the sprectrum that the spectrascope is capable of measuring. Hope that helps. Have a wonderful day.

Do lines of a particular element appear at the same wavelength in both emission and absorption line spectra?

No, lines of a particular element do not appear at the same wavelength in both emission and absorption line spectra. In absorption spectra, dark lines are seen where specific wavelengths are absorbed by elements in a cooler outer layer of a star or a cooler interstellar cloud. In contrast, emission spectra display bright lines when elements emit specific wavelengths of light at higher energy levels.

Coherent sources are sources that emit light waves with a constant phase relationship. Conditions for coherence include having the same frequency, wavelength, and waveform, as well as a constant phase difference between the sources. This coherence allows for interference effects to occur, resulting in patterns such as diffraction and interference fringes.


A white light is a combination of what?

White light is what we see when light of all (or most) of the frequencies in the visible spectrum are emitted together from the same source. It is the combination of every visible light wave.


Has light originating outside of earth been tested for speed?

Light from stellar sources will travel at the same speed as light generated on earth.


Why is the suns spectrum and the moon's spectrum the same?

The sun and the moon's spectra are not the same. The Sun's spectrum shows continuous radiation across a range of wavelengths due to its high temperature, while the moon's spectrum shows reflected sunlight with absorption lines due to its lack of inherent light source. They have different compositions and physical properties affecting their spectra.
